Increase the number of trade-related crimes being investigated and prosecuted, including pursuant to health, safety, financial, and economic trade-related crimes, including— section 305 of title 13, United States Code; section 15 or 16 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 2614 or 2615); section 371 of title 18, United States Code; section 541 of title 18, United States Code; section 542 of title 18, United States Code; section 543 of title 18, United States Code; section 545 of title 18, United States Code; section 546 of title 18, United States Code; section 554 of title 18, United States Code; section 1001 of title 18, United States Code; section 1341 of title 18, United States Code; section 1343 of title 18, United States Code; section 1349 of title 18, United States Code; section 1956 of title 18, United States Code; section 1957 of title 18, United States Code; section 2320 of title 18, United States Code; and section 301 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ( 21 U.S.C. 331 ).
For the purposes of this Act, this list does not include violations of national security-related laws and regulations, including the Arms Export Control Act ( 22 U.S.C. 2771 et seq. ), International Emergency Economic Powers Act ( 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. ), Export Control and Reform Act ( 50 U.S.C. 4801 et seq. ), and the Trading with the Enemy Act ( 50 U.S.C. 4305(b) ). Participate in basic and advanced training events with Homeland Security Investigations, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and other Federal agencies and provide technical assistance, where appropriate, to Homeland Security Investigations, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection, and other Federal agencies with respect to the investigation and prosecution of trade-related crimes. Develop multi-jurisdictional responses and partnerships with respect to trade-related crimes through informational, administrative, and technological support to other Federal agencies and agencies of countries that are trading partners of the United States, as a means for such agencies to acquire the necessary knowledge, personnel, and specialized equipment to investigate and prosecute trade-related crimes.
Participate in nationally coordinated investigations in any case in which the Attorney General determines such participation to be necessary, as permitted by the available resources of the Department of Justice. Ensure that all components that enforce laws against trade-related crimes regularly consult with each other. Litigation by the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice shall not preclude additional criminal prosecution or civil action against trade-related violations.
Nothing in this Act shall prevent the Criminal Division, Civil Division, and other Department of Justice components from pursuing enforcement action where appropriate.
